About Spirit of Tasmania

Length: 149 metres Speed: 18 knotsInteresting fact: Abel Janszoon Tasman was the first known European explorer to reach the islands of Van Diemen’s Land.

Length: 194.33 metres Speed: 27 knotsInteresting fact: Stretched from end to end, the vehicle lanes on each ship would be almost two kilometres long.

Length: 161.5 metres Speed: 17.5 knotsInteresting fact: It was only 11 metres shorter than the inside of the MCG.

Abel Tasman: 1984–1993 Spirit of Tasmania I & II: 2002–presentSpirit of Tasmania: 1993–2002

Let’s journey back to where it all began…1985, a year of big hair, ripped jeans and neon clothing. Bob Hawke was PM. Melbourne celebrated its 150th year. Neighbours debuted on network television…And TT-Line, the operator of Spirit of Tasmania, was born.

On 1 July 1985, TT-Line began operating passenger and vehicle transport across Bass Strait on the German-built Abel Tasman. This ship maintained regular and reliable service until 1993, when she was replaced by the much larger “original” Spirit of Tasmania. Only 11 metres shorter than the

Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), this gleaming white empress of the sea could carry more than 1300 passengers. The same year, TT-Line separated from the Department of Transport and became a corporation wholly owned by the Tasmanian Government.

In 1997, things kicked up a notch with the introduction of the Devil Cat, a Tasmanian-built catamaran that took just six hours to travel from George Town in Tasmania’s north to Station Pier in Port Melbourne. The speedy vessel operated during the summer peak season in conjunction with the

original Spirit of Tasmania from 1997 to 2002.

The iconic red-and-white ships we know today as

Spirit of Tasmania I and II replaced the original Spirit

of Tasmania in 2002. Constructed in Finland in 1998

and previously operated in Greece and Italy, these

two monohull vessels made their dual maiden

voyages on 1 September.

In 2004, a third vessel was introduced to the Spirit

of Tasmania fleet, operating between Sydney and

Tasmania. Spirit of Tasmania III sailed between

Darling Harbour and Devonport overnight, taking

approximately 22 hours. While very popular with passengers at the time, the Sydney to Tassie route was discontinued in 2006.

To this day, Spirit of Tasmania I and II continue to transport passengers, passenger vehicles and freight between Melbourne and Tasmania. In 2015, the two vessels underwent a major refurbishment, with their interiors being completely refitted and redesigned. And while the ships today may look vastly different from those of yesteryear, the brilliant sunsets and stunning vistas of the Strait just cannot be replaced.

Take your car, campervan or caravan and you’ll be ready to embark on your journey as soon as you arrive.

We don’t believe in restrictions, especially when it comes to luggage, so go ahead and pack as much as your vehicle can carry. Load up with surfboards, kayaks, golf clubs, tents,

hiking gear and extra suitcases – but be sure to leave some room in the boot to bring back some delicious Tasmanian vino.

After all, the spirited traveller knows that adventure should never be limited by a baggage allowance.

If you’re ready to really explore, you’ll need your car along for the ride… and with Spirit of Tasmania it couldn’t be easier – simply drive on and drive off.

Take your car on the adventure

As the land and city skyline gives way to endless glistening ocean, you can engage all of your senses on deck or simply curl up in a comfortable spot to watch the world go by.

Once you’ve had your fix of the ocean breeze, there’s plenty more distractions on board – listen to local musicians in The Terrace Lounge Bar or catch a new release movie in one of two cinemas. The whole family will

be kept entertained during school holidays with face painting, circus performers, trivia and disco bingo. Or perhaps you’re the kind of spirited traveller who likes to linger over a long lunch.

With a Day Ticket you’re free to explore every inch of the ship. For added relaxation (or a cheeky nap to recharge the batteries), book a cosy cabin to retreat to.

For those who like a view with their journey, Spirit of Tasmania operates day sailings during summer and high demand periods (September - May). Day sailings depart each port (Melbourne and Devonport).

An overnight journey with us is far from dull. Your journey begins as you watch the lights of the city recede into the distance (perhaps with a glass of Tassie vino or craft beer in hand). Next, leave the cooking to us and choose from an array of fresh Tassie

produce and delicious comfort food as you watch the sun set outside. Then it’s time for a movie or live acoustic music before retiring to your cabin for a cosy night’s sleep to dream of what awaits you in the morning.

There’s nothing like the sense of excitement when you sail at night. Drink in the twinkling lights of the city or the endless starry skies across Bass Strait, then wake up and you’re ready to set off into the unknown.

Sail by night and wake ready for adventure

Tasmania is the kind of place you really want to explore properly and the best way to do that is on four (or two) wheels. From Alpine Forest to dramatic coastline, city sights to lush farmland, the spirited traveller will naturally want to travel at their own pace and make plenty of pitstops. Bring your wheels with you on board so there’s no need to pay for a hire car, or worry about airport parking, bus and taxi costs. But the best part about bringing your car is you can explore at your own pace. Feel free to use the guide below for rough timings on getting around the Apple Isle.
